| Summary | 0000206: Error handling inside a hook | ||||
| Description | Short: Error handling within a catch. From: Michael Sporn Date: 990629 Type: Feature State: Unclassified Immediate error handling should be independent from a catch(), as too many people forget to handle errors returned by a catch. Maybe a modification to runtime/heartbeat/log_error, giving an extra parameter 'is_caught', and if is_caught is true, the return value decides if the driver prints a traceback or not before doing the actual catch. In general, the error and diagnostic handling is much too confused. --- See the discussion on amylaar-users in November '2000. The error routine could be set by a hook, and if not set, the driver could fall back to the old routines. | ||||

I agree, that catch() was often (and is still sometimes) bad, because the error does not get visible except for the people reading the debug log (not many). The ;publish modifier changes that to a degree. But maybe a possibility to implicitly use ;publish by default, enabled by some compiletime, commandline option or pragma...? |
|
|
If you do not want to introduce an new pragma - I consider 'pedantic' to be quite suitable for such a behaviour. |
|
|
What about the other catch modifiers. Should a mudlib or program be able to change their default, too? (We have a default statement, might use that?) |
|
|
Default statement? Uh, never read about that. :-( If we enable to change the default behaviour, we may also introduce log and nopublish in addition to nolog and publish to override default behaviour, I guess. BTW: related is the wish to disallow to use certain modifiers, e.g. disallow nolog. I think, there was/is somewhere an issue dealing with that. |
